2 of 5 — Why not a united Ireland? Ireland, Brexit, and Partition — timeline

Why not a united Ireland? Ireland, Brexit, and Partition, 100 years after the declaration of the Irish Republic by Dail Eireann. Part 2 of 5: timeline. This Workers’ Liberty pull-out discusses the interaction of Brexit with the partition of Ireland. It reviews the basic and long-standing arguments why Northern Ireland, as it stands, is not a viable democratic political unit. It surveys the historic inadequacies of the often-heroic Irish Republican tradition in dealing with the issue of Partition, and the political logic of the recurrent transitions of Republican currents, once revolutionary by their own lights, into conventional bourgeois politics. The articles are all by Sean Matgamna.
